Whether in the food, beverage or pharmaceutical industry, hygiene-critical applications demand maximum care. Every component must meet the highest standards, especially in level measurement. UWT provides certified sensor solutions that ensure safe, clean, and efficient processes over the long term.
What defines hygienic measurement technology?
UWT designs sensors and system components specifically tailored to the requirements of hygiene-critical processes. Our portfolio complies with international standards such as EHEDG, FDA, and EC 1935/2004 – ensuring regulatory safety, reliable performance, and maximum process cleanliness.
This creates trust – across industries and worldwide.
Our hygiene highlights – Your benefits at a glance:
- EHEDG-compliant design with no dead space
- Electropolished stainless steel surfaces (Ra < 0.8 µm)
- FDA-compliant seals (FKM, EPDM, PTFE)
- Hygienic construction – ideal for CIP & SIP processes
- Robust materials such as stainless steel 316L / 1.4404, FKM, FFKM, PTFE, or PVDF
- TRI-CLAMP connection: tool-free, hygienic, and time-saving
- Pressure- and temperature-resistant
TRI-CLAMP: Fast. Hygienic. Reliable.
- The TRI-CLAMP adapter is a key element for safe and simple integration into hygienic processes.
- Tool-free quick connection according to DIN, ISO, 3-A, and ASME BPE
- Hygienic integration into tanks, pipelines, and process systems
- Easy disassembly for maintenance and inspection
- Optimal cleanability for CIP/SIP processes
A plus in hygiene – without compromise in flexibility or safety.
CIP & SIP without disassembly
CIP (Cleaning in Place) and SIP (Sterilization in Place) are essential for automated processes with high hygiene requirements. Our sensors can be seamlessly integrated into these systems:
- CIP: Automated cleaning without dismantling
- SIP: Sterilization using steam or chemicals – no need for removal
- Resistant to pressure, temperature, and aggressive media
- Consistent cleaning results ensure stable product quality
Design & material
- Cleanliness starts with the details. It’s not just about performance – hygienic design matters.
- Hygienic materials such as stainless steel 316L / 1.4404, PTFE, FKM, FFKM, and PVDF provide optimal resistance – ideal for long-term use and CIP/SIP applications
- Pressure & temperature resistance – suitable for thermally or chemically demanding processes
- Leak-tight design – IP-rated housings and Tri-Clamp connections protect against leaks and contamination
- Hygienic surface finish – electropolished and crevice-free (Ra < 0.8 µm) for fewer residues and greater process safety
- These features ensure our sensors perform reliably and are designed in full compliance with EHEDG hygiene guidelines.
